Despite its lack of religious and cultural tolerance within its [[Levantia|Levantine]] territories, the Dukes of Martilles adopted a pragmatic and laissez-faire approach to their colonial policies, prioritizing revenue generation and economic prosperity above strict adherence to religious or cultural conformity. This pragmatic stance led to the establishment of highly diverse colonies, where Protestants of various denominations worked alongside native populations, fostering a rich and dynamic cultural exchange that served as a catalyst for unprecedented advancements in the realms of science, art, and culture. The colonies of the Duchy of Martilles emerged as vibrant centers of cultural, scientific, and artistic innovation, characterized by a blending of diverse perspectives, ideas, and traditions. The collaborative efforts between Protestant settlers and native populations resulted in the emergence of a powerful engine for cultural exchange and intellectual exploration, fueling a spirit of creativity and innovation that transcended the boundaries of traditional religious and cultural norms within the duchy proper. The dukes did however promulgate the work of the colonists throughout the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] as a demonstration of wealth and prestige. | Despite its lack of religious and cultural tolerance within its [[Levantia|Levantine]] territories, the Dukes of Martilles adopted a pragmatic and laissez-faire approach to their colonial policies, prioritizing revenue generation and economic prosperity above strict adherence to religious or cultural conformity.
